    What to do in an eye emergency 

    In the event of an eye emergency, staying calm and taking immediate action is key to minimizing damage and preserving your vision. Here are some steps to follow if you experience an eye emergency: 

    • Avoid Rubbing the Eye: Rubbing your eye can worsen irritation or further damage the eye. If something is in your eye, try to flush it out gently with clean water or saline solution. 
    • Protect the Eye: If you injure your eye or there’s a foreign object in your eye, avoid putting pressure on the eye. Cover the eye with a clean cloth or shield to prevent further damage. 
    • Do Not Attempt to Remove Foreign Objects: If something is stuck in your eye, such as a piece of metal or glass, do not try to remove it yourself.  
    • Seek Immediate Care: Call Dr. C. Vision Care at 850-456-2019 for emergency eye care or come right to our office if it’s during our business hours.
